Dick Spottswood called his WAMU radio show the "Obsolete Music Hour", playing classic bluegrass and country, string bands, honky tonk, western swing, blues, gospel, old world music, early jazz and other traditional styles that appeal to bluegrass devotees.

I recorded this July 13, 2003 show live off the air onto whatever was handy at the time: cassette tapes, VHS tapes, zip hard drives, flash drives and solid state drives, eventually digitized and added here in 2021. Most shows are complete, but some aren't, FYI.
